bonnie10 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm trying to ID a handful of hotels in a few different areas of NY for the dates of March 26-28, 2017 on Hotwire.

thereuare Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I believe there are likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? However, I will add that i'm very familiar with NYC, if you simply let us know your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) and what your needs are for this trip, we can make some suggestions as to the best offers for these dates. Also, as you noted, the hotels above are geographically all over the city, so what made you choose the hotels above? (given they are all over the place and very different from one another) What criteria is important to you for this trip?

bonnie10 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 My apologies for not using the BiddingHelper tool ) - I didn't realize all amenities weren't being shown now. I'll certainly do that in the future and can do that on these as well. We are trying to stay below $130....ideally around $110 & willing to go a little above $130 if needed. My wife and I will be in town for 2 nights just for a getaway. We will catch a broadway show on one night and the rest of the time we'll just hit some of the popular things to see, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, etc. I guess I intentionally picked hotels from a few different areas just to see if one hotel stood out above the rest. We're fine to use the subway to get around, so it's not critical that we stay in the heart of everything, but don't want to stay too far away since our time will be limited. I don't think we want to stay in Times Square and not sure about the other midtown areas. I thought we might like to stay out of the fray in a more local/quaint neighborhood like Greenwich/East/West Village or Chelsea as long as we still had easy and quick access to get into the midtown stuff, but didn't see as many options in the price range. And we're not married to that idea...I don't think we want to stay in Times Square, but other that we're not opposed more midtown, upper or even wall street areas if that's the better option. I'd absolutely welcome your opinion on any of the areas. thank you! Link to comment

bonnie10 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the info! yeah, all of them are of interest. I'm definitely interested in the area of Hotel Indigo & I had some concerns about staying as south as Wall Street, but obviously you recommend that area so that's good to know. thanks, I really appreciate it. This gives me some great options! Link to comment

My focus on the list above was on value and the nicest hotels for the money. You do get better value Downtown (especially on the weekends), but it is a trade-off between price and convenience, and just how much of a trade-off depends upon how you typically travel. If you're the type that leaves your hotel in the morning and returns late at nite, then location is less of a factor... if you prefer to return to the hotel throughout the day then it becomes more of an issue. However, in either case staying Dowtnown is certainly do-able. Also, as you listed walking the Brooklyn Bridge as one of the things on your 'to do' list, staying downtown already puts you close to the bridge. NOTE: my advice for walking the bridge, if you have other things you'd like to do and are trying to budget your time is to take the subway to Brooklyn, then only walk back to Manhattan over the bridge (as this is the direction you want in order to take in the skyline... not as much to see walking towards Brooklyn). Also, i'd also recommend an early lunch on this day and eat at: Juliana's 19 Old Fulton St (this is the original owner and location of Grimaldi's, which is now next door) I believe they open at 11:30am, so you want to get there at about 11:15 as a queue will begin to form and only gets longer throughout the day Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

bonnie10 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thank you so much for the suggestions and insights for the trip! As far as hotels, I was getting ready to book either the Hotel Indigo or W Hotel. But unfortunately, at least in the sense that I'm asking more feedback of you, it looks like our dates are having to be shifted to later in the week due to childcare for our 3 kids. Looking at my new dates of 3/30-4/1, I no longer see Hotel Indigo (that I'm aware of). I think I've identified the W Hotel and then I listed a couple of other low priced 4*s and threw in a 3* just for the heck of it since it was priced so low and had a 100% recommended rating. These were Hotwire via the Bidding Helper link. thank you! DATES - 3/30-4/1 4.5* - World Trade Center - Wall Street $95 (W Hotel Downtown?)
